oplieion.—( Hear, bear.) In support of that statement I in star ced the case?, of the boroughs of Guildford and Bristol, wb are Conservative principles predominate among the kiln. liVeints : and I argued that, on the principle urged even by the lion. Gentleman himself, under the circumstances the Con sservative principle should be attended to as well as the Liberal, and that it should, like its opponent elsewhere, pre dominate in these places. The Hon. Gentleman said that the people had the choice of the magistracy. The Hon. Gentle men is wrong.—(Mr. Roebuck was understood to say across he table that he meant indirectly.) The Hon. Gentleman is wronsr, in presuming that under the law as it now stands the people have the choice of the magistracy. Guildford and Bristol are proofs to the contrary. The lion. Gentleman . presumes that, because the town council have the selection u* the magistrates, and the people the election of the te ems council, they have also the choice of the magistrates inearectly. I understand the lion. Gentleman to say so.—(Ale. Roebuck was understood to reply across the table in tl'c affirmative.) The Hon. Gentleman is mistaken in his presumption. If he be otherwise, why deny to the Conservee;ve constituencies of Bristol and Guildford what he alloees to the Liberal consti tuencies of other places ? Lookeng at the abstract question, I say I doubt the policy, on *;.ure principles of justice, of any borough being solely greverned by Conservative or Liberal town councils; but it the feeling and opinions of the one are represented teed respected. on what ground are those of the other unattended to and despised ?—( Loud cheers.) That was the case I adduced in support of my argumciit. I then showed that when the Conservative town council of Guildford, elected by a Conservative consteuency, had recommended twelve gentlemen to the Home Office as fit and proper persons to be appointed to the commission of the peace for the borough —nine of those individuals being Con servatives and the remaining three Liberals—the Noble Lord bad inverted the order in which they were recommendad, and bad placed the Conservatives in the same position as the Liberals, by choosing only three of their number—just a third, notwithstanding that recommendation. In Bristol, likewise, where a compromise had been entered into betweeo the two parties, Liberal and Conservative, by which twel v e of each were recommended to the Noble Lord for aeepoint rnent to the magistracy, six out of the twelve recommended by • the Conservative party were excluded from t}' I .,st, while all those recommended by the Liberal were retained. That was the case I endeavoured to establish ; end if I succeeded in doing so, it was equal hypocrisy in . e.!ae Hon. Gentleman, and simulated love of justice not less that with which be has charged me to say that in the'ee appointments to the magis tracy the voice of the pen ',le was consulted. But it is of a piece with the Hon. Gemtleman's arguments and the policy of his party to extol w'aatever agrees with his own feelings, or makes in favour -of their side as just and fair and excellent, while they we',re perfectly passive—quite content—to see the recommend..ations of those who are equally the people with the individunls whose cause they espoused superseded, and set at nought.—( Cheers.) What, then; becomes of the Hon. Gen tlernan's simulated regard for the voice of the people ? ( Cheers.) Where the voice of the people is in accordance with my own, says the Hon. Gentleman's argument, let it prevail, but when it is in dissonance with it let it be silent. You have no cause of complaint because you disagree with me, and it is quite ridiculous for you to prefer a charge against the Noble Lord because he has overlooked your recommendation, and chosen magistrates from those of my opinions and my party.—( Hear, hear.) Such are the lion. Gentleman's argu ments—such is his regard fo the voice of the people. As long as it agrees with his, eivvn opinions it is to be omnipotent —as long as it dissent.. from them it is to be as nought.— ( Hear, hear.) I hane now done, Sir. I have redeemed my pledge given at tlee outset of these observations. I have con fined myself strictly to explanations of the charges personal and politicel made against me by the Hon. Gentleman. I have endeavoured to show that the accusation of employing the rower I held, while in office, for party purposes, was utterly inconsistent with the fact—l trust not unsuccessfully.— ( Cheers.) I have attempted to demonstrate that the Hon. Gentleman grossly misrepresented my argument—l believe not in vain. ---(Cheers.) I have, I hope, satisfied the House that his charges of hypocrisy and simulated love of justice are quite as unfounded as his pretensions of pure love of justice and entire attention to the opinions of the people.—( Cheers.) Mr. ROEBUCK said that he might claim the right of re joinder to the Right Hon. Baronet's reply ; but he would not do so, as he considered the reply, like the attack, equally dull and unpointed, and entirely unworthy of his notice.—( Laugh ter and ironical cheers.) Mr. T. GL AD STONR (as we understood) said that the borough of Leicester 'Kas by no means well pleased with the magisterial appointror,nts of the Noble Lord ; and he could inform the House, in addition, that an address to his Majesty on the F .ubject, signed by a great majority of the respectable inhabitants of the town, was ready for presentation at the first opportunity. Of the ten persons who had been ap pointed to the magistracy in Leicester, nine had voted for his (Mr. Gladstone's) opponents in the last election for the borough. Of these nine eight were very active sup porters of their cause. Besides this, five of them were So cinians, one a Baptist, three were Churchmen, and one of them was a very doubtful character.—(Laughter and " Hear.") He (Mr. Gladstone) did not mean as to the cha racter of his morals, but the character of his creed ; and he wished to be understood as casting no reflection on either. If that was not enough for the measure of the Noble Lord, be (Mr Gladstone) did not know what was. After a few more such specimens of it, the constituencies of the country would be less than ever inclined to repose confidence in the Govern ment.—(Hear.) He (Mr. Gladstone) had been identified with charges made against the Noble Lord by the Hon. Member for Bristol, by the cheer he had uttered in support of it ; but he wished to qualify that identification by an interpretation, similar, if not in terms, in strict sentiment, to that afforded. by his Hon. Friend the Member for Liverpool. Mr. F. BARING said the Right Hon. Baronet 'had com plained that due weight was not given to the Cmservative re commendation in the appointment of magistrate's, and the Hon. Baronet the Member for Bristol had stated that the borough be represented was the only place where there was a pure Tory corporation, which was the cause of his observations on the subject. Now, he (Mr. Baring) happened to represent a Tory corporation also ; and, in accordance with their wishes, he waited on the Noble Lord at the Home Office,- to state their fears that they would 'ee injured by the new measure. He was satisfied with the Noble Lord's reasons, and he told his constitutents so, when they urged him to make a second application for them, He (Mr. Baring) would not presume to give advice on the subject at issue, but he felt bound to say that it was in such a situation that the Hon. Baronet who made the charge was bound to either proceed with it, or re tract it altogether. Mr. O'CONNELL could not help adverting to the new ingredient which had been thrown into the debate by the Hon Member for Leicester (Mr. Gladstone), who had as sailed the Corporation of a particular place on account of their religious opinions. That was a ground of quarrel which in these days he certainly had hoped might have been spared.— (Hear, hear.) This, he had hoped, was not a time when the religion of individuals should be brought against them as a charge.—(Hear, hear.) The debate on the present occasion had assumed various shapes. The House had been witness to three kinds of public exhibitions—tragedy, comedy, And farce.—( A laugh.) The performance commenced with all the tragic dignity of an impeachment of a Minister. 'Then they bad the amusing comedy or interlude between the Hon. Member for Finsbury (Mr. T. Duncombe) and the Hon. Member for Kuaresborough ( Mr. Richards) ; and, finally, they had the broad farce exhibited by the last-named gentle man in his reply.—( A -laugh.) But various and amusing as the debate had been, he thought it had also been very use ful—useful in this, that it had brought out the Right Hon. Baronet's (Sir R. Peel's) admission that the popular voice ought to be respected in matters of municipal government. —( Hear, hear.) The substance of the Right Hon. Baronet's charge against the Noble bird was, that he had not made an equal selection of magistrates, but that he had given an undue preponderance to those of his own party. If the Noble Lord had done so, whose fault was it ? It was the fault of the very party to which the Right Hon. Baronet belonged, because, as the Municipal Reform Bill passed that House, the town coun cillors would have had the power of nominating the magis trates absolutely ; and the Government, if it interfered at all, must have done so upon its own direct responsibility.—( Hear, hear.) As the Bill originally stood, the Minister of the Crown would have had only a negative veto upon the appoint ment of the town council, for the exercise of which veto he must in every instance have given a distinct and posi tive reason.—(Loud cries of " Hear, hear.) The wisdom of another branch of the Legislature induced them to alter that part of the Bill ; and the debate of that evening had given a pretty convincing proof of the prudence of the altera tion.--(Hear.) The complaint brought forward against the Government was, that they had given the commission of the peace to so many Liberals. He (Mr. O'Connell) was obliged to the Right Hon. Baronet for making such a charge --(Hear, bear, hear.) It was an exceedingly useful charge, because, till now the people of England did not know g R t h i h them much the Government had been doing for them. T e .Hon. Baronet had taken the trouble of Ulf - . jrmin pp He upon that point; and in that respect. at le of ', east the eo England were very much indebted to Hear, hear.) (Mr. O'Connell) did not compl°_'.n that it had been the prac tice of the Right Hon. Ba7onet whilst he was in office to ap point Tory Magistrate.,, He did not know that there was any ground of complaint upon that head. He did not complain that men had been appointed because they were Tories; but of tbss . he thought there was reason to complain, that men had been appointed ee be Magistrates who would not have been so appointed if tleey had been Radicals or Liberals.—( Hear. ) No matter ;chat was said—this was the fact : in the counties of Ene:.:ad, 99 out of Ioo—it had always hitherto beer, a total exclusion from the magistracy if a man dared to entertain libe ral e,pinions. (Hear, bear.) It was so even at this moment. rais, however, be hoped would be one of the results of the -present debate, that the Government would no longer see the neer,ssity of attending to the recommendations of Tory Lords Lieutenant.--( Hear, hear.) In many instances he thought it would be advisable to turn the Lieutenants themselves to the !right about ; but at all events this was eviden t, that hereafter the Government ought in a great degree to keep itself inde pendent of these recommendations. Alluding to an observa tion that had fallen from the Right Honourable Gentleman, the Member for the University of Cambridge, the Honour able and Learned Gentleman stated that he had been turn ing the point over in his mind, and endeavouring to re collect whether, during the last five years that the Right Hon. Gentleman was Secretary for Ireland, there had been one man of Liberal principles appointed to the magistracy in that coun try ? He believed there had not. __(H e ar.) He could not re member one. The Hon. and Learned Gentleman concluded by observing, that the first triumph of the Government in the present debate was the publicity which would now be given to the fact, that they for the first time had nominated and given the commission to a number of excellent persons, who joined with them in their own Liberal opinions. Their second triumph consisted in the exposure which had been given to 4 THE SUN, LONDON, WIK.riNESDAY, MARC II 30, 1836.

ITEINE BROTHERS, CONTRACTORS for the GREAT LOTTERIES Published and Drawn by authority, and under guarantee of the Hamburg State, beg to inform the Public that the SIXTY-EIGHTH LOTTERY of 10,000 Tickets will be dravrn on the 23d of June next, and Tickets are now selling at bancomarks 108, or 81. say Eight Pounds, sterling. The Prizes are :—1 of 100,000, 1 of 20,000, 1 of 15,000, 1 of 10,000,1 of 8,000, 1 of 7,000, 1 of 6,000, 1 of 5,000, 10 of 1,000, 35 of 300, 36 of 165, 234 of 150, and 1,995 of 108 bancomarks; which 2,316 Money Prizes are altogether payable without any deduction what ever, and every holder of a Ticket coming up : one of the 2,000 first drawn Blanks will be entitled, after the fourth day of Drawing, to the receipt of two undrawn Tickets gratis, as per Scheme. Owing to the Gratis Tickets, the number of Tickets on Sale is a very limited one, so that of course they will be cleared off very rapidly, and a rise in price occur very soon. Those desirous to purchase at the present First Price of 81., are requested to direct by one of the first mails, but only for whole Tickets, to the above named Contractors, Heine Brothers, in Hamburg, who beg to de cline, as usual, English orders for any thing less than a whole Ticket. To those remitting a 101. note, Heine Brothers will, on executing the order, send an order for the balance of 21. by return of post. A full Scheme of every desirable information being al ways sent with the Tickets ; those giving orders will only have to write a line ordering the Ticket or Tickets, adding the money, or an order for the same, and giving their frill and plain directions, to secure the safe receipt of the communications. Those honouring Heine Brothers by purchasing, may depend on their strictest secrecy as to their taking a chance or getting a Prize, such being the undeviating rule of the old established and most lucky office.

Their case is one, not for statesmen, - but for mad - doctors , to consult on. A statute of lunacy should be instantly taken out against the whole fraternity, for it is manifest that they are of unsound mind, and have been so ever since the year 1830. It is really a shame to let such desperate lunatics run about the streets without a keeper. We muzzle mad dogs ; then why not muzzle mad Tories, who are full as mad as the maddest mongrel that ever foamed at the mou th in the dog-d a ys ? We consider last night's debate as the deadliest blow the Tories have yet received, and so we have no doubt the country will regard it, for it has shown them in their true colours. We should not omit to state that at the close of the discussion, Sir R. PEEL defended his virtue at considerable length— an arduous task, and one in which the most consum mate sophist that ever existed, might be reasonably ex pected to break down. From first to last the debate was one of the stormiest that we ever remember in Par liament ; but, singularly enough, not one Irishman took part in the " skrimmage." There is a passage—the opening one too—in the speech of His Grace of WELLINGTON, on the se- cond reading of the Municipal Corporation Act Amendment Bill, in the House of Lords last night, upon which we beg to offer a• few observations. We are not about to run through the entire speech ; nei ther are we disposed to weary the public with any further commentaries upon either the principle or the details of a measure with which it is already sufficiently acquainted. We shall merely quote the first para gaph as it appears in the columns of the Times of tins morning : " The Duke of Wellington said he did not rise to vote against the motion which had been made by the Noble and Learned Lord, nor to impugn the view which the Noble and Learned Lord had taken of it ; but he must observe, that this Bill, which had been under consideration in another place for a considerable length of time, was brought into that House at a period of the Session, and at a moment, when it was impos sible that it could receive that fair investigation on which the determination of their Lordships ought to be founded. Many of those who took part in the discussion of the measure intro duced last Session were not at present in the House. He would say, most important persons who took a part in the dis cussion of the original Bill were absent. Neither, he would observe, were they in the House on the former evening when this subject was introduced. He had, therefore, at that time entreated the Noble Viscount opposite to postpone this stage of the Bill—the regular stage for the discussion of a measure of this description—to that period when a Noble and Learned Friend of his, and other Noble and Learned Lords, would be in their places. to take part in the discussion. He bad called on the Noble Viscount to do so, and for this reason—because it was a complicated measure." The sages of Laputa and the hereditary sages of the House of Lords are the exact counterparts of each other. The one could do nothing without their flap pers ; the other deliberate upon nothing without their advisers. The modesty of the Noble Duke is worthy of the conqueror of NAPOLEON. His Grace in the first place admits that he knows nothing of the question under consideration ; and he next asks the Government to delay the business of the State, till certain friends of his who do, may think it worth their notice to attend in their places in Parliament. The Tories have here ample grounds of complaint against their chief. In the name of the whole Conservative squad we say that his Grace, in the plenitude of his humility, is chargeable with having libelled the hereditary sages of the Upper House ; and we call upon Master D'ISRAELI the younger to address to him a letter upon the subject, in which we wish him to point out the absolute im possibility of convicting hereditary legislators of ignorance upon any question. Surely the Noble Duke would not have it understood that any person ignorant of a measure should presume to decide upon its merits —even were that person a Peer ? And if he would not, either the ignorance of the Tory Peers was a libel lous assumption on the part of his Grace ; or it was his duty to have moved the retirement of the noble blockheads, while all questions which they did nor un derstand were under deliberation. From the Duke's account of the political discernment of the Tories in the Upper House, it appears that there are not above a dozen Members capable of exercising their delibe rative faculties. All the rest are carried away by what ever these persons say—having neither an opinion of their own, nor the sagacity and comprehension re quired for the formation of one. But the most cu rious part of the business is, that the few hereditary legislators, who, in the judgment of the Noble Duke, possess common-sense and legislative discernment, are never in attendance. In fact, it would seem as if they were ashamed of an association with the hereditary Incapables, who reflect the glances of his Grace of CUMIERLAND. At all events, we have the Duke of W LINGTON's declaration, repeated night after night, since the opening of the session, that he could never find them in their places. Such admissions of legislative incapacity,, on the part of the Duke of WELLINGTON, will make an indelible impression upon the mind of the British people. When they hear of mea sures rejected by means of votes given by proxy, they will naturally ask how many of their Lord ships were in the situation of the Duke of WEL LINGTON last night—depending upon absent friends for the shadow of an opinion of the merits of the mea sures so rejected—which in plain English means vir tually disqualified to vote at all. For even the right to assume the exercise of hereditary legislation is de pendant upon, and pre-supposes a knowledge of the duties to be performed. There are these two things to be considered with re gard to the speech of the Duke of WELLINGTON. We merely state them, and leave the decision to the country. The Noble Duke asserted that the Bill under consideration was not understood by the Conservative party—nor could it, without certain ex planatory lectures from some absent Tories, who were Members of the Upper House. Was this statement correct ? And if it were correct—which we can readily believe—is its application to be confined to that single Bill ? We presume not. What then becomes of the principle of hereditary wisdom ? To be consistent with himself the Noble Duke ought to move, before every division in the Upper House, that Noble Lords understanding nothing of the question to be decided upon should withdraw. But if the correctness of the Noble Duke's position be questioned as a general pro position, no Tory can refuse it a personal application. In that case the Conservatives will convict them selves of having chosen as a leader the only Incapable in the Upper House. This would offer a solution for every difficulty against which the Standard, the Post, and the Times, are contending. Led by the blind there can be no longer a marvel at finding the Tories in the ditch. . _ We have received, though at an unusually late hour, the Paris Journals of Monday. They an nounce the opening of the Cortes by the QuEEN . iu person, and the tranquillity of the Spanish Capital. The following are extracts from them : (NEWS OF THE MORNING.) PARIS, MARCII 28.—A despatch from Madrid, dated 22d March, announces that on that day, at three o'clock, the Queen had opened the session of the Cortes in person. The Speech from the Throne declares that the vote of the electoral law is the only legal Means 'of effecting a revisal of the fundamental institutions of the kingdom, and of the prin cipal object of the meeting of the Chambers ; that other im- portant matters will be laid before them, especially that of the negotiation that is opened with the States of South America. Madrid enjoys the most perfect tranquillity. —Afoniteur. On the 21st of March Espartero joined Cordova, .who is at Vittoria, at the head of 20,000 men.

Pants, MAUCH 27.—N0 news was circulated at to-day, except that the old and powerful house of Falconet, Naples, had stopped payment. It was feared that this event would seriously affect the credit of the Neapolitan Govern ment, in whose operations that house had long been con- *-"ortoni's -t cerned. A Journal states that the Prefect of Police, having received intimations which led him to believe that there was a design to introduce into the Conciergerie certain articles calculated to favour the escape of the prisoners, a strict watch had been ordered for some days past, particularly with respect to the woman Petit Lasave, who is known by the trial of Fieschi, and often visited Boireau. We learn that this woman was arrested yesterday just as she was going to M. Boireau, in the Conciergerie ; this arrest took place because on searching her, she was found to have some files, which she endeavoured to conceal. A search made at her place of abode has led, we are assured, to the seizure of important papers.

Our King is confidently expected, and it is already reported that a kind of diplomatic meeting is spoken of; at least, it is affirmed that King Louis Philippe, and the Kings of Holland and Belgium, will be there. VIENNA, MARCH 17.—Letters from Corfu, received by way of Trieste, represent the troubles on the frontiers of Greece and Turkey as by no means unimportant. The num ber of well-armed rebels is said . to be 3,000, who are ready to resist to the utmost. They are said to require, as the price of their submission, the immediate convocation of a Repre sentative Assembly, and the discharge of all the Germans from the Greek service. MUNICH, MARCH 17.—Lieutenant Fuche arrived here on the 15th with despatches from Athens. The Kings of Ba varia and Greece were perfectly well. Our King intended to leave Greece in the second half of this month, and we hope that his Majesty will be here about the 10th or 12th of April. Nothing of consequence had occurred in Greece when the Lieutenant left. Much apprehension of a naval war was felt at Constantinople in consequence of the reported armaments of the Maritime Powers. We have received Jamaica Papers to the 28th of February. The Despatch of the 27th—which we should observe has violently opposed the emancipation of the Slaves, the liberal policy of Lords MULGRAVE and SLIGO, and, in fact, every person and thing not bearing the impress of the planters and the Duke of WELLINGTON—has thefollowing leading paragraph: — It is reported that the Asssembly will be convened on the day to which it is prolongued—the Bth of March, for the de spatch of public business; but how Lord Sligo is to meet his friends, the Members, we are wholly at a loss -to imagine : but we say this in truth and in sincerity--that we shall not envy his Lordship the feelings which he must entertain on the occasion. His Lordship with that chivalrous feeling for which he is so celebrated, dares not, we think succumb to about forty West Indian gentleman, who have, in the plenitude of their authority as the representatives of the people, ferretted out and exposed some mistakes which ap peared in his Excellency's correspondence with the Colonial Office. Of Lord Sligo personally, we shall say nothing; but we cannot help lamenting, that as the King's Representative, he has been seduced by his Toadies, to represent our con dition so differently to what it really is. We grieve for this, for the future fame of our Governor. We grieve for it much more sincerely on public grounds, that his Majesty's Representative will for ever- remain charged with deceiving his Royal Marter, our beloved King, who has beers among us, and who, to this hour cherishes a fond recol lection of Jamaica. We feel this deeply; and we are delighted to find that m isrepresentation, coming from whatever quarter it may, is now understood in England, and duly appreciated; as well as that those who have been the cause of our ruin, wish to cloke their infamous plans for the miserable consideration of holding office a few months longer. It was reported very currently in town yesterda), that Lord Sligo was preparing for his departure for England. We hope it is the case, as we are anxious to be able to wish His Excel lency a very pleasant passage from our shores, and a happy meeting with Buxton and the other Aldermanbury **". - - - His Excellency the GOVERNOR of Jamaica must have ably discharged his duty, or we should not find the Despatch thus rejoicing at the prospect of his de parture for England. Had he, instead of assisting the Government to strike off the fetters from the limbs of the kidnapped African, armed the lash with double terrors, we should hear / of nothing but the wailings of the Planters for his anticipated removal from their island. On the 27th of February the Grand Court termi nated its judicial sittings. There was a very heavy criminal calende—not of emancipated " niggers," but of those who modestly lay claim to a right of posses sion in such commodities. DUBLIN ELECTION COMMITTEE. (THIS DAY.) At the sitting of the Committee this morning, it was an nounced to be their intention to continue their proceedings, notwithstanding the adjournment of the House. The scrutiny of disputed votes was then proceeded with ; and when our Reporter left, Mr. O'Connell was on an equa lity with Mr. \Vest. the pretence that in the counties of England. there tofore been fair play between WhigS . and Tories.- 7 -111ear . .) Every body knew that there had bitt 111 C IVCt y;as plabed be cond dispute by the deelalrak l io'ns Sti.leh bad bCell made by th; lion. Gentle Men in the course of the present de bate.—( l-lear, hear.) Mr. T. GL A DSTONE explained. In reference to tbz, o bservations he hid made respecting the religion of the Ma gistrates of the borough of Leicester, he had meet nothing offensive to the form of worship followed by th ose and had not tinn tightest intentiox_l makingl reproach. Lord GRANVILLE SOME . 11 E 1 aetended the conduct of the town council of itrlS'tol in the recommendation it had made, which `ivai t?alneci with remarkable impartiality. He wished to ask the Noble Lord under what sanction he had tee fused to make appointments in a spirit of equwl Irlipartiality ? and on whose information he had given Utterance to such grave insinuations against respeCtalk individuals? He defied the Noble Lord to state anything against their characters. If any personal reproach alleged against them had affected the mind of the Noble Lord, the facts ought to be made known to them, and they should have been given an opportunity of defend. lug themselves. He pledged himself for the respectability of the parties rejected, amongst whom were Alderman Daniel and some of the most wealthy and respectable merchants.in the city. Lord .J. RUSSELL said that the Noble Lord had quite misunderattma him, if he supposed that in any explanation he bad given of the circumstances alluded to, he had meant to charge those gentlemen with anything like unfitness for the office of magistrate, or to insinuate anything of a personal nature against him.—(Hear, bear.) But in answering a question like that put by the Right Hon. Baronet it was ob viously impossible for it person in his (Lord J. Russell's) situa tion to enter into the various reasons that had induced him to rnak.'e suoit and such appointments. If it were possible, it '..toold. perhaps be highly impolitic. As to the particular ob ae.rration which had given rise to such discussion, he did not make it with special reference to thecouncil or magistrates of Bristol. He had made it as a general observation. He had stated the reasons of rejection only in one case, that of Alder man Daniel—but as to those of other individuals it was quit• impossible that they (the Ministers) should -come prepared to state their reasons for the appointment or rejection of any one whose name might pass through their hands. Mr. SCARLETT (during whose speech much confusion prevailed in the House) detailed the circumstances attending the selection of magistrates for Guildford, where, out of three persons put in nomination, a deaf person was selected by the Government. In the city of Norwich, also, there was evi dence of the prevalence of partisan policy. A list of twenty persons was prepared, in the framing of which the names of all the truly respectable and influential Conservatives qualified to act as magistrates were studiously set aside, on a system of exclusive dealing no ways creditable to the operation of the Municipal Reform Act, and in their stead he found placed on the list only eight Conservatives, of whom two were barristers, two attornics, two who declined to act, and two more who were superannuated.—( Hear, hear.) He considered the pre paration of such a list for Norwich positive evidence of great unfairness existing there in that respect, and he hoped the Noble Lord would yet inquire and ascertain from intelligent and impartial persons who were really the fittest to be chosen for the important office of magistrates in these Corporations. The SPEAKER then addressed the House, but from the low tone in which he spoke little could be heard at our end of the gallery beyond the general purport of his observations— expressing a hope, now that the sense of the House had been so fully developed on the topic before them, the Noble Lord would feel the propriety of acknowledging that nothing had been uttered by the Hon. Baronet to imply a charge of a personal nature, or which would call for any further solicitude on the part of the Noble Lord in reference to that portion of the debate. Lord J. RUSSELL (who also spoke in a very low tone) was understood to say that he did not retain any idea of per sonal imputation in the charges which had been brought against his official conduct in this affair. Sir R. VYVYAN was understood to acquiesce in the Speaker's decision, that nothing personally invidious was im plied in his charges against the Noble Lord's exercise of power on this occasion. The SPEAKER then put the question, which was carried without further commentary. Mr. AGLIONBY obtained leave to bring in a Bill to faci litate the recovery of the possession of tenements after the expiration of the tenancy, which was read a first time. NAVIGATION OF THE SHANNON. Mr. F. FRENCH moved for a Select Committee to in quire and report on the expediency and practicability of im proving the navigation of the rivers Suck, Fergus, Brosna, and the several other tributaries flowing into the river Shannon; and also to inquire into, and report on, any impediments and combinations that interfere with the Grand and Royal Canals. The Hon. Member introduced his motion with several ob servations on the difficulties hitherto thrown in the way of the improvement of this valuable district by the several Govern ments of Ireland, but the low tone in which he spoke prevented us from catching his remarks in continuity. Mr. SHAW seconded the motion on a subject which, he was happy to believe, every Irishman would gladly combine to promote. Lord MORPETH thought the main object of the motion would be better obtained when the time would arrive for en tertaining it effectively by separating it from the latter portion of the resolution. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER thought that the best way of advancing the object the Hon. Gentleman had in view, was to begin by obtaining from the engineers who had charge of the improvements in that district the preliminary information as to the levels of the broad water on the Upper Shannon, &c. That done, the Hon. Member Fhould have his best assistance. But as any attempt to effect the object of his motion at present must be premature, and would only confuse the whole proceedings for the improvement of the lower part of the river Shannon, he must advise the Hon. Gentleman to withdraw his motion. After a few words from Mr. W. S. O'BRIEN, the Hon. Member withdrew his motion. Mr. POULTER postponed his Bill regarding municipal elections in the borough of Poole till Tuesday week. Lord MORPETH obtained leave to bring in a Bill to amend Mr. Justice Perrin's Act, relating to the sale of beer, spirits, &c., by licenses in Ireland. After a few words from Mr. SHAW and Mr. WYNN in praise of the measure, it was read a first time. Mr. A. TREVOR moved for returns of the number of writs issued from and the number of causes tried upon issues from the Court of Common Pleas of the county palatine of Durham and Sadberge, from the Ist of January, 1826, to the 31st of December, 1835.—Agreed to. Mr. HUME moved for a return of the expense of erect ing the wooden frame at Whitehall for the last three years. He understood the expense to be from 601. to 801. a year. This was a very unnecessary expense. The money would be much better employed in bounties to the poor.—Agreed to. Mr. SHAW referred to the Orders of the House for the purpose of showing that the Hon. Member for Middlesex could not have presented the petition to which he before re ferred, out of time. After a few words from the SPEAKER on the point of order as regarded petitions, Mr. HUME moved for a return of the amount of bounty dispensed at Whitehall on Maundy Thursday. He could show that this bounty was dispensed at an expense of 10 to 20 per cent. Mr. F. BARING said the House must feel that this was a point of some delicacy, as this bounty came from the Civil List. Motion agreed to. Mr. O'LOGHLEN moved the second reading of the Voters (Ireland) Registration Bill. Mr. SHAW said there was much in the Bill of which he approved, but it would require some alteration. He would in the Committee prepare a clause relating to the Dublin University. Read a second time, and committed for the 20th of April. The Jamaica Slavery Abolition Bill went through a Com- mittee. The Dublin Police Bill was read a second time.—Com mitted for the 27th of April. The other Orders were then disposed of, and the House adjourned at a Quarter past Twelve. THE TITHE COMMUTATION BILL.—On Friday afternoon a public meeting was held at the Shire Hall, Chelms ford, to take into consideration the probable effect which the m an o d ns ag b r y ieu L l o tu rc r l2 Tithe Commutation Bill, i ntro d uce d i n t o th e H o use of Corn announc.ed J. R , nsell, would have upon the landowners of the kingdom. The meeting having been ut a few hours before, was but thinly attended. So m e- ,%,ffieultv was at first felt in obtaining a Chairman : but was eventually proposed and carried that C. E. Branfill, Esq. of Upminster, should preside. This gentleman, in the course of the discussion on the provisions of the Bill, expressed his opinion to the-following effect:—" I see no difficulty, if • the Government adopt the principle that the future right of the titheowner shall be commensurate with that of the owner of the land. In Devonshire they want to take one-tenth of the land, and others say why not one-eighth. The principle is agreed to by practical men, on all hands ; and I believe it is desirable to take the rent or revenue which the land will yield, as the estimate of the charge. The average of tithe in one county might be taken, and then the average of the whole kingdom; then you could fix a maximum oepayment, which should not exceed a certain portion of the rent. But so long as the Government take it on a valuation of tithes, they will never bring forward a Bill to relieve us from the grievous bur don. There is a gentleman in this neighbourhood who has valued tithes, and he says the fair way of valuing them is by the rent. Lord John Russell says, that tithes have nothing to do with rent, but he is going to make them have something to do with it. The fair way is, to say what is the amount to be paid out of the rent." A Committee was formed, and the meeting then adjourned for a fortnight. HYDROPHOBIA.-_A most melancholy instance of the insidious fatality of this dreadful disease occurred at Led bury on Saturday last. Mr. Charles Emmett, who had for several years been in the employment of Mr. Ward, printer and bookseller, of that town, allowed a favourite dog some months ago to lick his hands, which were chapped with the cold. A few weeks after this happened the dog died, having exhibited symptoms of canine madness. ad s n u esspected to arise s.Nonot from theice was taken at the time, nor was any mischief licking of the chapped hands; but the young man was taken exceedingly ill on Wednesday, the 17th instant, and after wards symptoms of the malady appeared. Having endured the n - Aost excruciating sufferings, he died on the evening of g h t e l y d 'pita a sensation in Sati aday last. The dec eased was a y oun g man o f respec tab'ie family inthe whon e k i g n h e t w o u h r i h in. oo d Hisof aw Bristol,ful deathan d haswa a s e i re A h pected all the town o la I eULAry, —Gloucestershi re • chronieo, lyot LONIVN, WEDNESDAY EVENING, MARCH 30, 1836. A most animated and not a little personal, debate took place last night in the House of Commons, on the subject of some late municipal appointments in Bristol, Wigan, Rochester, Leicester, and elsewhere. Sir R. PEEL brought on the discussion by insinuating —with that inimitable affectation of candour peculiar to him—that Ministers had appointed magistrates in various places, with an eye rather to their political predilections than to their fitness for office. In an swer to this grave charge Lord J. RUSSELL denied that there ever had existed, on the part of the advisers of the Crown, the least disposition to show any such partialities; observing that " the view he had taken generally was, that he ought to attend to the recom mendations of the Town Councils ; but that there were several places in which he had recommended persons who did not entertain the same liberal opinions in poli tics with the Town Councils generally. He might have excluded them, but he did nut do so, because he did not wish that the magistracy should be composed of one po litical party. This, one would have supposed, would have been considered a satisfactory reply; but not so did the Tories consider it. Having preferred their Bill of indictment, they were resolved to stick to every item it contained; and accordingly Sir R. VYVYAN rose, and not only repeated, one by one, the charges of Sir R. PEEL, but added further, that as respected Bristol, Ministers had been influenced in their municipal ap pointments by corrupt motives. From this moment the debate became one purely personal. Hard words were bandied about in the most approved bear-garden fashion possible, in which wordy warfare Mr. RICH ARDS particularly distinguished himself, accusing Mi nisters of being revolutionists and conspirators ; and packing up as much twaddle, bombast, and sheer doting imbecility, in the smallest possible compass, as we ever remember to have met with, even in the speeches of Mr. WYNN. And who is Mr. RICH ARDS, the majority of our readers will, no doubt, ask ? We will tell them. He is a politician of the PHILLPOTTS' school ; that is to say, a person re markable for nothing but his inability to know hi s own mind for two years together. He was once a' Radical ; he is now a C onservat ive ; but whether Radical or Conservative, a Bore of such flagrant enormity as might put even the Thames Tunnel to the blush. And yet this is the man,who presumes to call Ministers to account for their incon sistencies ! Truly he is a precious type of his party— of that party which, after having—for GOD knows how many years—appointed Tories, and Tories only, to offices of trust and power, now profess. to bb struck with shame and astonishment at the bare idea (for it is nothing more) of Ministers presumi ng to take a leaf out of their o wn book ! Was ever impudence equal to this ? Is it possible that cod assurance can go further ? The Tories are clearly mad. Rage and disappointment have deprived them of what few wits they had left ; one by one they have stripped off all their tinsel pretensions ; and are now exhibiting them selves in all the beauty of unsophisticated nature, to the gaze of an astounded public. Think of the men who for fifty years and upwards, have crammed the Ireland magisterial bench with Tories ; a nd ke p t up in DEATH OF HENRY ROSCOE, ESQ. (Front the Liverpool Chronicle.) Died, on the 25th ult., at Gateacre, near this town, Henry Roscoe, Esq., Barrister at Law, aged 37, the youngest son of the late William Roscoe, Esq. We have never recorded the death of any person with more sincere regret, for we have rarely heard of any man whose life was more actively useful, and whose character was more free from fault than Mr. Roscoe's. His legal talents and attainments , were of the highest order, and his works, which have 'been long fa miliar to the public, obtained for him the character of one of the most accurate and useful writers in his profession. Early in life he published several literary works which were very successful, and if his duty had not called upon him to abandon literary pursuits, the distinguished reputation of his father as a poet and an elegant scholar would have been fully sustained by his son. The interesting life of his father was one of the latest of Mr. Roscoe's literary productions. For the last few years he had been the Judge of the Borough Court of Liver 7 pool. Tender and manly feelings were admirably mingled in his disposition ; he possessed the rare combination of genius and industry; his mind was highly cultivated beyond the limits of his dry and lab or i ous pro f ess i on ; an d h e car ried into practice the high integrity which distinguished his life. Mr. Roscoe has left a widow and two children, The estate in Virginia is to be sold to-morrow. Out of the 45,000 acres, 'already 30,000 acres are disposed of. Mr. Robins will consequently only have 15,000 acres to sell. This portion is all in the Bath county, and in the district of the large watering places. It is understood the price has averaged about ss. an acre. A meeting took place, Monday night, at the house of Mr. Lord, Burlington Arcade, for the purpose of concerting measures for a subscription to relieve the sufferers from th o late calamit ous fi re. Thi s promptitude is highly creditable to the good feeling of the inhabitants of the neighbourhood. The will of the late Charles Mathews was proved on Friday, and probate taken under 3,0001. He has left all he possessed to his wife for her life, on conditi on th at s h e supports h er so n ; hut in c ase she marries again, half the pro perty to her absolutely, and the other half to Charles. The widow renounced, and Charles proved the will; PARLIAMENTARY SUMMAY , Y • In the Loans' last night, among the petitions eras one_ from Warwick, signed by 25,000 owner s and occilp.iers of land s in that county, complaining of agricultural distress; Several Bills were passed ; others were advanced a tage among th e l a tter d e s c ription was the Irish Municipal Co.r porations' Bill, which 'was read a first time, and fixed ye I read a second time on the 18th of April.
